Joint Statement regarding the closures of Carney Hospital and Nashoba Valley Medical Center.

        
The announcement of the closure of Carney Hospital and Nashoba Valley Medical Center has continued the pattern of reducing the accessibility of emergency care in the state.  The actions taken to date from the Steward healthcare system have already harmed our communities and these actions will undoubtedly cause more harm.  While the maintenance of the entire hospital may not have a feasible business case, like in the past precedent of the Quincy hospital closure, a free standing or satellite emergency care center should be considered as an essential service and needed community public health need. 

It is the position of MENA & MACEP that the closure of any emergency care centers will harm the overall health status of the state.  There is a need for oversight, planning, and risk reduction on the local, state, and federal levels to ensure timely access to emergency care for all and to take steps to consider maintaining emergency care in these communities.  We urge the courts and the state to reconsider the closure and to consider the option of satellite emergency care to ensure safety for our communities.

    MACEP Advocacy Report

    Relative to legislation pending on Beacon Hill, MACEP has been a strong advocate for H.2381/S.1538, An Act Requiring Health Care Facilities to Develop and Implement Programs to Prevent Workplace Violence (M. Moran/Lewis).  These identical bills, initiated by the MHA, would require the Department of Public Health (DPH) to develop and monitor new statewide standards for evaluating and addressing known security risks in hospitals, including requirements for the development of a written violence prevention plan and in-house crisis response team.
     
    Importantly H.2381/S.1538 includes penalty provisions for whoever knowingly and intentionally interferes with the conduct of a health care facility or commits aggravated interference with the conduct of a health care facility.  Other workplace violence bills pending on Beacon Hill do not include penalty provisions and, thus, are not supported by MACEP.
